Public Notices. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF NELSON. fi ENTLEMEN— At the request of several in\JC fluencial members of your electoral body, I have consented to be nominated as a fit person to represent you in the Nelson Provincial Council. I have, moreover, been induced so to do by numerous promises of support, which, unsolicited, have been given to me. Personally, I believe I am well known amongst you, but, as yet, untried in political life. It is therefore right that you should know the course of action I would take as your representative, if elected. This you will better learn on the day of nomination. I will merely say now that, if elected, I would strenuously support his Honor the Superintendent in carrying out the policy of public works lately enunciated by him in his various addresses to the electors of this province, as the prosecution and completion of the public works which he advocated must, of necessity, tend to advance the best interests of this community. The construction of a commodious Patent Slip or Dry Dock in Nelson, would, I believe, be equally as beneficial to us as a railway. I think that during the coming session your Provincial Council should devise such measures as would insure the development of the vast coalfields at the Buller and other places in this province, for obvious reasons. I would endeavor to obtain, during the next session of the Council, an amendment of the present Licensing Ordinance, because, in its present shape, its provisions are capable of being vexatiously enforced, and it does not give Magistrates that discretionary power which in certain cases they ought to have. There are other matters lo which I shall refer more at length upon the day of nomination. In conclusion, I would add that, if elected, I would decline to enter the Council as a party man. If I could not go there as your representative, free to act as I think best for your interests and those of the province at large, I would rather not go there at all. If you do me the honor to elect me, I shall do my duty honestly and faithfully, and to the best of my ability and judgment. I am, Gentlemen, Y r our obedient servant, ALBERT PITT.
